Glorious things of thee are spoken,Zion, city of our God!He, whose Word cannot be broken,Formed thee for His own abode.On the Rock of Ages founded,What can shake thy sure repose?With salvation’s walls surrounded,Thou may’st smile at all thy foes.

See! the streams of living waters,Springing from eternal love;Well supply thy sons and daughters,And all fear of want remove:Who can faint while such a riverEver flows their thirst t’assuage?Grace, which like the Lord, the giver,Never fails from age to age.

Round each habitation hovering,See the cloud and fire appear!For a glory and a coveringShowing that the Lord is near.Thus deriving from our bannerLight by night and shade by day;Safe they feed upon the mannaWhich He gives them when they pray.

Blest inhabitants of Zion,Washed in the Redeemer’s blood!Jesus, whom their souls rely on,Makes them kings and priests to God.’Tis His love His people raises,Over self to reign as kings,And as priests, His solemn praisesEach for a thank offering brings.

Savior, if of Zion’s city,I through grace a member am,Let the world deride or pity,I will glory in Thy name.Fading is the worldling’s pleasure,All his boasted pomp and show;Solid joys and lasting treasureNone but Zion’s children know.-John Newton-Music and more

"Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. " Hebrews 10:23-25
